Discover the Atlantic Ocean Road and the fishing village of Bud on a shore excursion from Kristiansund. Admire the stunning coastal landscape as you travel along the road that zigzags across bridges from island to island. Start your tour in Kristiansund, the capital of Nordmøre. After a short tour through the city, continue to the Island of Averøy using the Atlantic Ocean Tunnel, which is a subsea tunnel of about 6 km and 250 meters below sea level. The Island of Averøy is well known in all of Norway because of its archaeological history and the history going back to the Viking king of Harald Hårfagre who has been here many times. As you head towards the Atlantic Ocean Road, keep your eyes peeled for seals, sea birds and – if you’re lucky – whales as well. This scenic stretch – one of Norway’s National Tourist Routes – skips between islands and skerries as it meanders from Averøy Island to the mainland. The Atlantic Ocean Road zigzags across bridges from island to island right at the ocean’s edge. The trip covers 8.2 kilometers, crosses a total of eight bridges and winds through a stunning coastal landscape. It’s one of Norway’s most visited tourist destinations and was the winner of the “Engineering Feat of the Century” prize in 2005. Continue your way passing the beach of Farstadsanden and drive along the coast to the delightful fishing village of Bud where you will make a photo stop overlooking the ocean with views of the Bjørnsund islands. On your way back to Kristiansund, follow the Frænafjord and the Kornstadfjord, travel up and down beautiful hillsides around another delightful natural inlet and passing the villages of Elnesvågen and Eide. For the way back to Kristiansund, use the Krifast road connection.

          Cobh/Cork: Blarney Castle, Kinsale & Cork City Shore Tour

          This was a fantastic experience! Beautiful drive, well planned tour, very nice bus. No regrets at all booking this independently instead of through the cruise line. We went the same places the cruise line excursions did and had a much better value!  ... Our tour guide was excellent as well! Highly recommend!
